The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) is a not-for-profit technical institute and trade association for the use of structural steel in the construction industry of the United States. AISC publishes the Steel Construction Manual, an authoritative volume on steel building structure design that is referenced in all U.S. building codes.
Structural steel welding - Welding of steel structures AS/NZS 1554.2: Structural steel welding - Stud welding (steel studs to steel) AS/NZS 1554.3: Structural steel welding - Welding of reinforcing steel AS/NZS 1554.4: Structural steel welding - Welding of high strength quenched and tempered steels AS/NZS 1554.5
The then-current American National Standards Institute, or ANSI, standard was based on high-rise buildings and was not appropriate for low-rise structures. This was not simply an issue for metal buildings, but all low-rise non-residential construction. [1] Head of Walls: MBMA and the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) sponsored fire ...
The structural provisions rely heavily on referenced standards, such as the Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Structures published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE-7) and the Specification for Structural Steel Buildings by the American Institute of Steel Construction (ANSI/AISC 360).
These values depend solely on the type/application code given in the first part of the code and are so numerous as to be impossible to indicate here. Additional symbols are separated from the main code by the plus sign (+). The most common additional symbols are the impact and temperature codes for structural steels, category 1 - Sxxx.
The austenizing temperature, the temperature where a steel transforms to an austenite crystal structure, for steel starts at 900 °C (1,650 °F) for pure iron, then, as more carbon is added, the temperature falls to a minimum 724 °C (1,335 °F) for eutectic steel (steel with only .83% by weight of carbon in it).
The National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA) is a professional association in the United States, with member organizations in 44 states. [1] NCSEA was established in 1993. [ 2 ] As of 2003, NCSEA represented 12,000 individual engineers, who are members of local state associations.
The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) is a United States national association of more than 6,000 construction industry professionals who are experts in building construction and the materials used therein. The institute is dedicated to improving the communication of construction information through a diversified membership base of ...
